In World of Warcraft: Draognflight, two-handed weapon wielders have been trying to get their hands on Fyr’alath from the final boss of Amirdrassil for months now, often to no avail. There is a bad luck protection token players can obtain after killing Fyrakk to increase the chance of the legendary weapon dropping next time, but players have been unsatisfied with the vague nature of this item, along with the fact that it doesn’t seem to do much of anything. Blizzard has heard these complaints, and responded with a big update:
Many aspects of Dragonflight have reflected a shift in philosophy towards designs that allow us to enjoy reaching a point where we feel “done” with a character’s power progression. Legendaries returned as an exception to this. Legendaries are intended to be a special reward that some players would aspire to obtain over the course of a season, demonstrating a display of excellence in the most challenging content.
As Season 3 has unfolded, we’ve increasingly heard feedback from frustrated players who have been clearing Amirdrassil weekly on Heroic difficulty with no Fyr’alath in sight, and we want to give those players a surer path to achieving their goal.
Earlier today, with a hotfix that is now live, we significantly increased the effect of all Embers of Fyr’alath for players who receive them. This increase is retroactive and applies to all players whether or not you’ve consumed any Embers you may have.
As always, thank you for your feedback!
Players are already reporting major increases in drop rates for Fyr’alath after this hotfix. Does this give you the motivation you need to get back in there and give it another shot?
